Former Comics Alliance writer Jennifer De Guzman took a cue from her former colleague Kieran Shiach to attack Alterna Comics because they treat their customers with respect and appreciate their growing fan base.

De Guzman would target Alterna Comics because they retweet their fans who purchased their products.

Peter Simeti, the founder and publisher of Alterna Comics, would respond after one of his published creators agreed with De Guzman. The creator, Christine Brunson, noted they had stepped away from the publisher because of their support for their fans.

People of all walks of life, LOVE Amazing Age and loved your work on it — I supported you guys and went to bat for you against Diamond and the FCBD committee and this is how you respond? Thanks. Really means a lot.

Simeti would go on to comment about De Guzman’s attack on him and Alterna Comics. He explained that De Guzman’s attack shows in her mind that comics really aren’t for everyone.

It’s unreal. Comics are apparently for “everyone” as long as “everyone” is first approved of and vetted. I’m getting crucified for saying “thank you” to readers but I shouldn’t be upset by that… no no, it’s just my life’s work and character that’s being assassinated is all. https://t.co/4EQAnWSIOq

The bile being poured out on Twitter is growing worse by the day. I don’t have the patience to read all the garbage being tossed around, but I’ve followed you long enough to know you’ve been a solid champion for comics, creators, and fans. I don’t see any evidence to the contrary

This is the current state of the comics industry. Former Comics Alliance writers like Jennifer De Guzman and Kieran Shiach have made it their goal to demean and attack anyone they find guilty of wrong think. But it’s not just Comics Alliance writers. We’ve seen this behavior spill over with creators like Bill Sienkiewicz telling ComicsGate and comic book fans to get lost. Vertigo Comics artist Robbi Rodriguez just recently sent disgusting, graphic photos of his butthole to Ethan Van Sciver.
